Our natural environment is in trouble. We are losing the diversity of life (biodiversity) on Earth at an unprecedented rate. This message has been strongly broadcast since the Earth Summit in Rio in 1992, which put ‘sustainability’ on the global agenda. Twenty years later, the situation is even more critical, not only on an environmental front but on a social and economic front as well. The time for talking is over, the time for doing is upon us.

Many people have heard the environmental plea, but how do we cope with daily realities and still live with nature, not against her?

By sharing our stories we can learn a great deal from each other about how to restore biodiversity & improve lives.

WHAT IS GONDWANA

Gondwana Alive is named for the southern land mass (Gondwana) that broke up millions of years ago into the southern hemisphere continents we know today. It is an apt name given that most of the remaining natural biodiversity on the planet is found in the southern hemisphere.

These early years saw the production of “Towards Gondwana Alive, Vol I (Anderson, J.M. (ed.) 2001. This publication laid the scientific foundation for the Society’s mission to promote biodiversity and stem the Sixth Extinction.
